It's been at least three days since Luna,Legolas,Gimli and Aragorn have been running after the two hobbits and the orcs.

"Their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent."Aragorn spoke up as he slowly stood up from the ground,"Hurry!"

"Come on,Gimli!"Legolas called out after the dwarf, who was falling back and definitely the slowest of the four.

"Yes, pick up your space."Luna agreed.

"Three days and nights pursuit. No food. No rest. And no sign of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell."Gimli said.

Luna rolled her eyes and began to run again,"Quit complaining."

"Easy for you to say, elf."Gimli grumbled as he watched the girl to start running.

The four continued to run for a while until Aragorn spotted something in the grass.

Luna stopped as she saw how Aragorn picked up the leave from Pippin or Merry's cloak.

"Not idly do the leaves of Lórien fall."Aragorn spoke as Luna stopped beside him.

"They may yet be alive."Legolas stated.

"Less than a day ahead of us. Come."Aragorn said and began to run again, Luna and Legolas running after him.

"Come, Gimli!"Luna shouted, as Gimli fell to the ground.

"We're gaining on them!"Legolas added.

"I'm wasted on cross-country. We dwarves are natural sprinters."Gimli spoke,"Very dangerous over short distances."

"Then hurry up!"Luna spoke before running faster.

"Rohan."Aragorn spoke as they stopped on a higher place where you could see way more,"Home of the horse-lords. There's something strange at work here. Some evil gives speed to these creatures. Sets its will against us."

Luna furrowed her eyebrows before she jumped down from the rock and ran forward, Legolas right behind her.

"Luna, Legolas! What do your Elf-eyes see?"Aragorn asked.

"The Uruks turn northeast!"Luna replied before she and Legolas looked at each other.

"They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard."They said in sync.

"Saruman."Aragorn stated.

...

"Keep breathing. That's the key."Luna heard Gimli say making a small smile form on her face,"Breathe."

"Come on, Gimli."Luna encouraged with amusement as she ran faster.

"They've run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them."Legolas spoke up just as Luna passed him.

"I'm faster than you."She teased making Legolas raise an eyebrow.

"I take that as a challenge."He commented before he picked up his pace, trying to be faster than Luna who just ran even faster.

Aragorn watched how the two passed them with a smile on his face. He slowed his pace down a bit to watch the elves.

"How long will they take to realize their love?"Aragorn asked in a whisper.

"I would say another few weeks."Gimli commented, making Aragorn hum.

Another day later, even though the day was full of running and Gimli's complaining about how they weren't taking any breaks.
